Thesaurus.com notes that a “geek” is a smart person with an obsessive interest. Jennifer’s personal interests run the gamut from finding the perfect blueberry muffin recipe to supporting her voracious reading habit but to attain resident geek status at Morgan + Company, Jennifer has committed to an ongoing regiment of large quantities of caffeine, planning tools and Simmons cross-tabs and indices.

Her condition began while learning the world of research and communication planning from some of the best. She has handled some of the most well-known brands including MGM, Hormel, Gillette, Miller Brewing, Sprint, Cadillac, Chevrolet and Mitsubishi. At GM Planworks as a Media Supervisor, she managed a budget over $100 million and a full account team for several GM brands. After leaving the Motor City for sunny Los Angeles, she was a supervisor for a smaller integrated communications company where she designed integrated communication strategies in excess of $50 million throughout the country.

At Morgan + Company, Jennifer manages the communication planning process, including market and audience segmentation, and competitive analysis. Her responsibility is to turn data and research into actionable consumer insights. Most of her efforts are focused around quarterly, seasonal and promotional planning initiatives, while spending a portion of her time managing the day-to-day workings on a handful of accounts.

A graduate of the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Marketing, she’s a native “Detroiter” who has adapted well to the southeast Louisiana culture, despite not having seen a real alligator in the wild yet. But she still requires a trip back home for the Tigers’ home opener and Sanders Hot Fudge. Jennifer is Co-Vice President of Programming for the American Marketing Association’s New Orleans Chapter. And currently sits on the Board of Directors for the DREAM Fund, supporting those in the advertising industry during times of need.

The proper method for breaking in a baseball glove.

Just like there is more than one way to approach an audience segmentation analysis, experts cannot agree on the single best way to break in a baseball glove. 

Step 1:  Soften the leather
Options: Just use it;  oil it up with your choice of baby oil, Vaseline, shaving cream, saddle soap, or specialty oils; beat it with a ball peen hammer;  soak it in water;  heat it up in the microwave, oven or in the car on a hot summer day;  run it over with the car

Step 2:  Form the pocket
Store the ball in the pocket and tie it with your choice of twine; rubber bands; Ace bandage;  plastic wrap

Leave it overnight (even under your mattress)

Step 3:  Form the glove
Bend the heck out of it to your liking

Step 4:  Use it frequently

Step 5: Store with the ball in the pocket to retain shape
